Dr. Yang Ziqi
Summer weather is hot and prone to catching colds. Patients experiencing symptoms such as sore throat and swollen tonsils during a cold can take appropriate medications under a doctor's guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is important to enhance nutritional intake, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid overeating. Additionally, ensure proper indoor ventilation, keep warm, avoid staying up late, and guarantee sufficient sleep each day.
